(17 May 2016, 8:20 pm)South Tyne Lad Be costly training different depots how to maintain a unique batch of buses,
A qualified engineer wouldn't get any training. If you get stuck you phone around.

Why?, hes only letting you know what he has heard.
If it wasn't shared, it'll only be asked 100 times if anyone has heard anything....

And surely, it would make sense to keep all of the batch in one place - especially in the case given the fact they are less common vehicles!

A quick google search seems to suggest that its a MAN 18.240 chassis, which is what 24101-15 are (please correct me if I'm incorrect on either of these) albeit with a different body so could this be why Stockton is suggested as their likely destination?

It is indeed, And yes 241** are 18.240s too. And 18.240s are 12.8M in length, Someone on here said that Newcastle's 5 Extra Long E300s on the 100 are longer than the incoming kinetics'.....
Either Stockton or Slatyford by the look of it.

BIB: Only one batch of 18.240/E300s are 12.8m in length and those are 22620-6 with Stagecoach West (at Gloucester, new to Swindon for the 66 between Swindon and Oxford).

Stagecoach South Wales received a batch of 12.8M MAN 18.240s for Service X4 in 2009.

Now definitely confirmed as Stockton bound. All bar two currently in storage at Chesterfield, the other two remain in use at Barnsley and Sheffield Ecclesfield.
They are also 43 seaters - so they would be pointless on the 100 replacing the 49 seater E300s.

Will they go straight to Stockton?

More than likely - as state previously, they were repainted on transfer from Scotland to Yorkshire last year so unlikely they will require repaints straight away.

And in the grand scheme of things less than 18 months newer than the current stock on the 100.

Cheers, i was just checking in case Stagecoach wanted to paint them again because we all know what bus companies can be liked when it comes to repaints.

Don't normally get involved in stagecoach chatter but here goes... What use does Stockton have for E400s every year we get the same rumour and every year we fall for it! I'm still waiting for 17030,1,3,4,5 to turn up from Hull. Personally I think if enviros are going spare they will be sent away from the North East and replaced by single deckers for Hartlepool/Stockton
